ABSTRACT This research compared body weight perceptions of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal girls and their mothers. Three interview formats were used: in-depth qualitative interviews; a stnictured questionnaire analysed with cultural consensus theory; and three standardized questionnaires. Families were randomly selected based on the class lists of Grade 8 students from two urban and two rural schools. The sample consisted of 80 mother- daughter pairs, interviewed separately. The response rate was 71.3%. The non-Aboriginal women almost unanimously discussed strong societal pressures that made weight more important to women than to men. Most of the Aboriginal women, especially in the First Nations community (FNC),emphasized physiology and health, speaking in a way that suggested weight was not central to female identity. Despite this, some Aboriginal women related a history of risky eating behaviours. Analysis of the 24 weight-related values statements indicated consensus, except in the FNC women. Both agreement and disagreement were highlighted. Across locations, approximately half of the girls accuratety repeated their mothers' advice to them regarding weight. There were no significant associations between mother-daughter pairs in the analysis of the consensus statements, reports of dieting, general advice to others, the Restraint Scale, the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), or body dissatisfaction as measured by the Body Shape Drawings Questionnaire. A pst-hoc analysis of 21 participants who most supported accepting one's body size was the only mother-daughter association that achieved statistical significance (kappa =û.51). Body dissatisfaction was higher in Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal women (83% and 62%) and girls (66% and 36%). Responses on the Restraint Scale suggested more dieting in the FNC. More Aboriginal (17.5%)than non- Aboriginal (2.5%) girls had EAT-26 scores suggestive of risk for an eating disorder. These results suggest that (a) girls are not necessady emulating their mothers' weight concems but may leam to challenge weight obsession fiom hem; (b) both weight and weight preoccupation need to be considered in health messages to Aboriginal girls and women living in or close to an wban centre. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to the mothers and daughters who shared the perspectives and experiences that fom the basis fur this sturty.

Describe the role that clinicians have in pre- and post-bariatric surgery care. 2. Identify new tools and evidence for assessing and supporting bariatric surgery patients throughout the bariatric surgery process. 3. Apply medical, nutrition and psychosocial protocols and interventions that improve patient outcomes after bariatric surgery. Abstract: Bariatric surgery is recognized as an effective and durable treatment for severe obesity; however, bariatric and primary care teams require awareness and skills to manage the myriad of pre- and post-operative concerns. Pre-surgery concerns consist of bariatric surgery readiness assessment, surgical risks and psychosocial stability. Further, patients require additional assessment and intervention after surgery, including early recognition of bariatric surgery complications and evidence-informed psychosocial interventions to maintain weight loss and health benefits long-term. This full-day workshop will provide participants with an integrated interprofessional approach to bariatric surgery assessment and aftercare.

  • Improving Obesity Management Training in Family Medicine
    Luig et al. BMC Medical Education (2020) 20:5 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-019-1908-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Improving obesity management training in family medicine: multi-methods evaluation of the 5AsT-MD pilot course Thea Luig1, Sonja Wicklum2, Melanie Heatherington1, Albert Vu3, Erin Cameron4, Doug Klein5, Arya M. Sharma6,7 and Denise L. Campbell-Scherer1,5,7,8* Abstract Background: Quality, evidence-based obesity management training for family medicine residents is needed to better support patients. To address this gap, we developed a comprehensive course based on the 5As of Obesity Management™ (ASK, ASSESS, ADVISE, AGREE, ASSIST), a framework and suite of resources to improve residents’ knowledge and confidence in obesity counselling. This study assessed the course’s impact on residents’ attitudes, beliefs, and confidence with obesity counselling. Methods: The course combines lectures with a bariatric empathy suit experience, standardized and in-clinic patient practice, and narrative reflections. Using a multi-methods design we measured changes in 42 residents’ attitudes, beliefs, and self-confidence and thematically analyzed the narrative reflections to understand residents’ experience with the course content and pedagogy. Results: Following the course, residents reported improved attitudes towards people living with obesity and improved confidence for obesity counselling. Pre/post improvement in BAOP scores (n = 32) were significant (p < .001)., ATOP scores did not change significantly. Residents showed improvement in assessing root causes of weight gain (p < .01), advising patients on treatment options (p < .05), agreeing with patients on health outcomes (p < .05), assisting patients in addressing their barriers (p < .05), counseling patients on weight gain during pregnancy, (p < .05), counseling patients on depression and anxiety (p < .01), counseling patients on iatrogenic causes of weight gain (p < .01), counseling patients who have children with obesity (p < .05), and referring patients to interdisciplinary providers for care (p < .05).
